Matthew 12 — Context

7

But if these words had been in your minds, My desire is for mercy and not for offerings, you would not have been judging those who have done no wrong.

8

For the Son of man is lord of the Sabbath.

9

And he went from there into their Synagogue:

10

And there was a man with a dead hand. And they put a question to him, saying, Is it right to make a man well on the Sabbath day? so that they might have something against him.

11

And he said to them, Which of you, having a sheep, if it gets into a hole on the Sabbath day, will not put out a helping hand and get it back?

12

Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! For this reason it is right to do good on the Sabbath day.

13

Then said he to the man, Put out your hand. And he put it out, and it was made as well as the other.
